OP, 5 minutes of research on Manjaro will give you a very different impression of how easy or reliable it is.

I see the world rapidly realizing it doesn't need to pedal its bikes anymore. I can't see it adding pedals to things that have already had them removed...

The problem isn't the mechanics, the problem is getting repair parts. Tesla is the only one who makes Tesla parts and they've decided that those parts are going toward new Teslas, not repairs. (My Tesla was in the shop for 11 MONTHS thanks to this fun state of affairs.)

While EV's that share a platform with ICE cars are generally worse than ground-up EV's, the nice thing is there are plenty of repair parts available.

The real shame here is that TFT uses the LoL client and so we can't play TFT now either. LoL could disappear tomorrow and I will miss going back to TFT for a few weeks every once in a while.

The irony of arguing for the death penalty while taking the moral high road on "adding negative things the the world"... wow.

The timing coincides with COVID so I wonder if it really is the whole anti-masker "government can't tell me what do and besides I'm immortal!" mentality.

Nope. Been working just fine for a few years now. Can't see them suddenly just breaking it.

There are plenty of reasons to avoid Tesla, like the fact that it took 11 months to repair my car because Tesla isn't making enough spare parts. Or the fact that Elon Musk is a fascist asshole. I will certainly not be buying another Tesla at this point. But software? No.

And to be clear, every car manufacturer has an "autopilot" like system now. It's not just a Tesla thing.

This is how I learned about it. Afterwards, I talked to my teenage nieces who are both on Android and they confirmed that it's definitely a thing.

My issue is that the cheapo consumer hardware sucks. Using good software on bad hardware doesn't solve the issue. Unless I can use it on a normal computer... last I looked into it, I don't think you could.

The criticism isn't that you get a lot of crap you don't want. It's that you're paying out the nose for a lot of crap you don't want. Netflix had (arguably, granted) a much higher ratio of watchable shows, no commercials and at a fraction of the price!

The issue is that now all the best stuff got parcelled out onto their own streaming platforms so you no longer get that high ratio of watchable stuff all for one low price. Parks and Rec isn't on Netflix anymore. Neither is 30 Rock or Futurama or Bobs Burgers. Neither is Daredevil. Etc etc. To get all that content that used to be in one place, I now have to go to Peacock, Hulu, Disney+, etc. It ends up being the same problem of having to pay a huge monthly fee to see everything I want except instead of paying it to Comcast, I'm paying it to 10 different streaming services.

Oh you want to watch Parks and Rec? That's $10/mo or whatever the fuck Peacock charges. I wouldn't know because I'm not paying for an entire streaming service to watch one fucking show. Same goes for every other garbage streaming service with one or two good shows and no other redeeming qualities (looking at you Paramount+, Apple TV+, etc).

The issue isn't that there's a lot of crap I don't want to watch. The issue is that there is very little I DO want to watch on each and if I were to buy them all, I'm paying the same amount I was before for cable.

Counterpoint: Dauntless kinda sucks. It's made by the Fortnite guys and it feels like a MTX shop with a bad MH clone pasted on the top.

But hey, it's free. Doesn't hurt to check it out and decide for yourself.

They also "leaked" copies of the film for months before it came out. I saw a leaked copy in the dorms in college. Never heard of it, my friends told me it was real footage that had been found in the woods from a group that had been lost. For the first... probably half of the movie, I was convinced it was real.

Very enjoyable experience. I feel bad for all the people who saw it after the hype and were too cool to let themselves be scared by it.
